O Fidelity

-

                                    O Fidelity 

True love’s a gone by story, in hearts furtively buried,

What hadst befallen the lovers, in stories ‘tis carried?

The echoes of the failing trust will soon fill the space,

Mirroring the clouded soul, miserably fall from grace.

 

The sweet music is hushed, the wilderness hums disgust,

The space packed with bliss, pictures a specter of distrust,

A promise, a pledge once as virtuous as was a sacred vow,

Reneged upon, phrases slice love to pieces then and now.

 

No one says the love is mine, everyone keen to dispel care,

No one remembers the love’s right, tho lovers claimed fair;

Where do stand the tidings of union? The question will cry,

Why the treasure house of love’s bare, who will bonds buy?

 

Love and loyalty fared silky threads, woven in words unsaid,

It frayed as easy as ‘twas knit, the spider’s web falling dead!

The gone by smile, a laughter and runs of lover’s heartbeat,

No one knows the poverty of love; the passions and deceit!

 

Forget not the loyal lovers; for they loved an abiding love,

Weary and sad, turning to bond again, heaving sighs deep,

Lovers hadst made the lairs in breasts, wherein silently lie,

How will the love trust to play the fickle; ah love living high?

My Endeavors Leap to a Surge

-
               My endeavors leap to a surge   My soul’s with Divinity blest, well-knit and strong, From cavern I’ll soar and pipe my melodious song, Tearing thru the numbness of stillness to the flare, I’ll balm the grieving heart and many a Satin dare!   Earned comforts bestrew my path, nay by chance, Silver to flashing gold, scintilla glow up and dance, And will illumine the benighted path, lying before, I’ve picked up the lost ends, pearls to dot my shore.   I shalt shape my fate and fashion it with pious will, My hopes abound, my endeavors surge with thrill, I’ve accursed the curse and nevertheless fate too, With the throb of emboldened heart, I’ll walk true.   Amid the throng, I shall be towering beyond hoax, My soul stands naked with truth, envy for the folk, I’ve ditched caverns, sky remains my frontier to fly, My odyssey, my sojourn, applaud me whereto I eye.   My dear son, ...

The Lambent Blaze

                  The Lambent Blaze The lambent blaze, oft' in your eyes, Hints a blatant answer to some whys, Done, what all seemed a task so afar, Keep up and someday you'll be a star.   On horizons where you perceived dark, With brilliant flare you'll chant like a lark, A road lies afore you, strewed with glee, The shackles are broken, ye are set free.   Like an eagle, discard pigmies and soar high, Depression's their abode, to fester and sigh, You're a darling of your home and its charm, Raised and spruced in love lo none to harm.   Bring forth the goodness in bosom hidden, Steal the show, amaze all, Lord hast bidden, In pastures and gardens swirl like fragrance, With scent of a rose, numb a sane to trance.   For us all you are a blessed soul and infinite gift, The unwavering anchor for those who are adrift, Your worries will pass away in the blink of an eye, Phases of melancholy and sadness ha...

My Dear Parents

-
Where shall I see your generous faces? Of unique love where wi ll I find traces? Here’s a void expanding every moment, N one  look up to, and I’m left to lament.   Your sweet voices often ring in my ears, To  solitude I’m confined for many years, The mellowness of yore hast turned gall, My tale of   infirmity runs gloomy and tall.   Parental fort has crumbled, in ruins I walk, Silence is my mate, ah there’s none to talk, In the wilds of my heart stripped of bloom, I fret  and fume, so no bl iss shall  find room.   A ttire s, articles  and  clothes are but lifeless, Arrayed but sans a  wearer , a h my distress! What a dismal abyss? I’m to wallow again, Cut and bruis ed deep,  surely I  never feign !   Pensively sauntering streets I feel ye beside, I glance aside, ah I’m alone on barbs astride, May that highest of heavens be your abode, Of glorified vales, therein gems have flowed.   Bye my parents!  You left ...
